Definitely hopefully a lot. I'm pissed about the corporate compliance every company is showing this past year.

Well, the whole thing has certainly affected my family's vacation plans and streaming subscriptions. We're in the process of cancelling most of our stuff right now. Epic Universe isn't a bad option given that we live in Florida.

I am truly confused how I know more about bows than sales people at a sports store. Bow behind counter was a compound bow like the others. I suppose I should have used the words "standard" or "traditional" but this person probably still wouldn't have understood me.

Or to get out home equity loans declaring the house as my primary.

The house is in the same part of town as my true primary residence. I can't even claim it as a vacation or investment property because it's too close. It's ridiculous how careless the mortgage industry is with these things.

That's not saying people aren't committing mortgage fraud by declaring vacation homes, AirBNBs, etc. as their primary residences, but the mortgage industry itself is perpetrating this illegal behavior. My loan purchaser is trying to get me to refinance as a primary residence too.

Thank you.

I'm sure this is meaningless to anyone not in the industry, but that $1075 over many years doesn't include all the other stories I've published at subpar rates (think .03 cents a word) and my Shadowrun RPG rules & fiction bits.

I'm not rich or famous, but this is a milestone. #happy #writesky
